I love the cooktop. It was a breeze to install, very light. Gas output is great. I do agree with alot of people though. The gauge of the stainless is very , I don't know how to describe it, but it does scratch easy. It seems thinner than the one I replaced. But, easy to clean. I just use Dawn and warm water. and once a week I will wipe it down with mineral oil. Looks great. I love the knobs NOT being plastic. Over all I would recommend this cooktop. I have been using it every day since I installed it and that is about 1 1/2 months now. Grates are a good weight. Not too heavy but solid enough. They still look good. Again, overall as of today, I do recommend the cooktop.
